Synopsis:

The course offers an overview of enterprise system architectures, focusing on Spring and Java EE. Students will become familiar with the most common enterprise architectures and related design patterns. In particular, the focus will be put on the principles of inversion control, dependency injection and Java Bean lifecycle. Pairs of students will prepare a simple enterprise application as their semestral work.

Requirements:

The course expects knowledge of Java and relational databases, in particular conceptual/logical modeling, the SQL language and transactional processing. Knowledge of ORM basics is welcome.
